I need help and some good ideas from you! Do you have a bit of advice for other homeschooling parents? Something that has worked well for you lately? Chores? Cleaning Tips? Bargains? Favorite websites?
Here’s the place to post it – Please help us all out by sharing a short, one paragraph tip in the comment section that you think would help other parents.
(Feel free to link to your blog – I’m happy to help spread the word about great blogs.)
Here’s my tip:
Brighten up your Math Lesson with Treats!
Next time you’re having a difficult math day, bring out an assortment of small snacks and use them to apply your current math concept:
- Sort the dried fruit
- Venn diagram some nuts
- Calculate the area of a Fruit Roll-up
- Estimate the skittles in a cup
- Bar graph some M&Ms
- Calculate radius and circumference with Fruit Loops
Brighten up a math concept that’s been dulled by too much paper and pencil!
You’re next – take a moment and please share a tip with us!

One of my favorite bargains is the freebies Currclick offers every week. They have also had a Mother’s Day freebie event. You can get several freebies each day. Today there are four to choose from and there will be more tomorrow.
I also found Educational books for 99 cents each at bookscloseouts.com I got 25 books last night for $37.90 total.
I have all the details on the currclick on bookcloseouts on my blog.
